3 themes from #HETT conf from software vendors who sell to the NHS about adopting open standards

😿 "why? what's in it for us?"

🫂 "the centre needs to bless a standard so i don't have to convince my boss"

🌞 "we already do openEHR. the clinical domain modelling is done for us, we focus on the UX."

a wonderfully humane take on the real consequences of our choices around ai and teamwork and diversity and pretty sure i would have been ugly crying by the end.

"common needs need commons"

and:

"We believe in proliferation, not scale"

Both statements got me right in the cockles. 🫀

Check out the folktechnology.org Principles and come to Vancouver on Oct 18 for their event at Z-Space.

i don't enjoy the romanticizing

of some golden past of the web

that web never died

you made all the decisions

about where to publish

and where to spend your time

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint.

She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:
from cyberselfish by paulina borsook: It's an inability to reconcile the demands of being individual with the demands of participating in society, which coincides beautifully with a preference for, and glorification of, being the solo comman- der of one's computer in lieu of any other economically viable be- havior. Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.

permissionless publishing for the og web heads.

self certifying data and signing for the p2p crew.

big world apps that actually work for the second web serfs that actually like doing things rather than discussing Kleppmann Tradeoffs.

splitting out the store so you have the option to host your own data and big public relays mean you are free to post something popular without melting your machine.

lazy trust means we can meaningfully verify what happens to our content as it is aggregated so each apps reputation depends on it accurately representing you.
